Kenko converter

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get the Kenko pz-af 1.5X converter from.
I have seen posts on this forum saying that AF works on this converter with a Pentax K10D and Sigma 70-200 2.8 HSM MarkII lens but I can't find a retailer who sells this exact version.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is this what your after?

Must be SHQ version for HSM lenses. Check with Chris at SRS first, last I heard the picture did not match the version in stock

The Tamron 1.4x MC4 teleconverter will also work with HSM lenses (and SDM).

Mike - is that true of all Tamron 1.4s? I had heard it was only the older ones. I can vouch that some do though as I have one that does. It is labelled as "1.4x Pz-AF MC4".

They made 2 versions, mine is labelled the same and works fine, I think it has to have the Pz-AF written on it.

Thanks,
Spoke to Jimmy at SRS and they don't have the correct Kenko converter in stock. It's the wrong image. Also seen that fotosense have the same image so have contacted them just in case. Would be happy with the Tamron too but can't find that either. I have been reading through the old posts to do with this - have any more compatible converters come out since then?
Does anyone have either the Kenko 1.5x pz-af SHQ or Tamron 1.4x MC4 that they would like to offload

Mike is right, it has to be labelled 1.4X Pz-AF MC4 to work with SDM.
I have one in mint condition, with original Asahi Pentax labelled caps, and boxed. Hardly used, got it just a few days before I bought my Pentax 1.7x Adapter, and then since the 1.7x came I haven't used it again.

I would consider selling it at a good offer if interested. Tried with all my SDM lenses

Also check this thread and read particularly the link that Mike has put in there, it explains a lot about various TCs

I believe (and again I could be wrong) that Tamron and Kenko are one and the same. I'm reasonably convinced that Teleplus are also the same.

Aminstar, Yes I would be very interested in buying it if it is the correct 1.4X Pz-AF MC4
Please let me know how much you would like for it inc postage.

Thanks
Loz

Hi Aminstar,
Would you still be interested in selling your converter?
I would like to buy it for a trip I am taking to Kruger Park. I leave next weekend so would be looking to get it next week latest. Please can you let me know.

Thanks

Hi

When I got my K7 from SRS I also brought the Kenko. It does work in the bright conditions, however it keeps flashing auto even thou I have changed the settings to manual.
